This year’s Professional Doctorate symposium explores auto-ethnography as a method in artistic and design research. Through presentations and discussions, participants investigate how personal experiences intersect with broader philosophical, social, and cultural questions. The symposium aims to unearth the political and historical dimensions within individual narratives, fostering a deeper understanding of self-representation and scholarly engagement in contemporary contexts.
